Introduction

Mastered the Art of doing changes in production cool as a cucumber, probably I can be considered at least a Senior shit or something – it might be one of the reasons they offer me money for.

I design relieable and scalable ready-for-production Database infrastructures for some top-noch companies, based on Open Source Technologies from the ground up.
That is, from coding the provisioning and deploy, components integrated in a Continuous Deployment (with Canary support, eg), to highly tweaked environments for performance and complex setups.

Other things that I love to do:

I’m an experienced hydroponics micro-grower; DWC and NFT are my favorites and I do have both implemented.

I’m an amateur musician, the typical string set plus some keyboards. Drawing is also a hobby.

Love reading, particularly around polithical, econocomics and social affairs. An active Libertarian, but working on the basement :)

As a previous and unrelated experience, I worked as Officer and had quit as Adjutor Principal after 8 years of serving, at Argentina’s Federal Bureau of Prisons (Servicio Penitenciario Federal). I had been in charge of assigned groups at several institutions from medium to high security. I cooperated in the design of some of the security and emergency procedures and designed the operations and personnel capacitation. In the early days of my career, on the External Security Officer role, I managed the weapon capacity and storage of the shifts. I also conducted sanction procedures and crime investigations in several of those establishments. I must highlight that it is not possible to go any further whether you want to change things for good; there will be always someone on top of you trying to keep his/her power. And that was one of the reasons why I quit.
